MANILA – On
December 11, 2015, consumer electronics giant LG Electronics teamed up with the
world’s most exciting mixed martial arts (MMA) organization, ONE Championship
to bring about the intense “ONE Championship: Spirit of Champions”
match to the SM Mall of Asia Arena.

Headlining the much-awaited Heavyweight World Champion
Division were top-ranking heavyweight champions, Brandon “The Truth” Vera
versus Paul “Typhoon” Cheng. Vera conquered the octagon and was thus crowned as
the ONE Championship Heavyweight World Champion. LG also presented the
Flyweight match between Ana Julaton and Irina Marzepa, with Marzepa emerging as
the winner.

Prior to the match, LG Electronics and ONE Championship
visited Pangarap Foundation in Manila. This foundation provides shelter and
care for underprivileged children, as well as livelihood training programs to
ensure a self-sufficient future. Pangarap Foundation kids were thrilled to meet
MMA legend and ONE Championship Vice President Rich Franklin, who taught them
the basics of dodgeball, an American schoolyard classic.

After a fun afternoon of play, LG unveiled another surprise
for the foundation: a premium Smart TV, with free access to epic ONE
Championship matches and thousands of other materials, set up in the facility’s
common area. Access to the LG Smart World App Store will greatly contribute to
the kids’ recreational and bonding activities.

Get more access to action-packed sports events and more by downloading
the ONE Championship TV App from the LG Content Store. To learn more about LG’s

matches, to help enrich the kids' entertainment and bonding activities. The two
global leaders also teamed up to conduct a fun dodgeball session with the kids,
led by no less than MMA legend and ONE FC VP Rich Franklin.
